non-linear SNR. … Current research focuses on different definitions of the amplitude noise covariance to estimate the NLI based on linear regressions [5] or NeuralNetworks (NN) [6]. Others … We developed and evaluated a novel technique for jointlyestimating SNRASE and SNRNLI with std error of 0.23 dB over a wide range of fibres, ASE-to-NLI ratios, WDM channels, and distances. The proposed metric is simple, requiring the extraction of basic …
A novel technique estimating ASE and non-linear SNR is presented. Our method is evaluated by simulations obtaining a std error of 0.23 dB for both ASE and non-linear SNR.
